Amazing women

While i went for a walk this morning, i started to really think about how lucky i am to be a women in todays world. It's hard to believe that not too long ago women were treated horribly, and in some countries, they're still treated that way. Looked down upon, viewed as incapable, and used. Sure, some men in America today still feel that way about women, but the best part of being a women today is that we are allowed to have our own opinion. We are allowed to create things, and we are allowed to shine! Some men hate the fact that we have an opinion, and that we have our own views in life, but at the end of the day we are allowed, and we should never forget that. Always remember that you have these rights, and that you can actually provide a life for yourself on your own. You can work, you can vote, you can have a say in just about anything you want, and that's pretty amazing considering how women used to have it. Sometimes we forget how hard other women in the past worked to make it this way for us today. So in appreciation to these amazing women, here are some interesting facts about amazing women who changed history.
